I Prefer the Moonlight is the twentieth studio album by American country music singer Kenny Rogers, released in 1987.

It contained three top five singles: the title track, the Grammy-winning duet with Ronnie Milsap, "Make No Mistake, She's Mine" and "The Factory".

The title cut was released next, and reached #2, a feat equaled to the north as well.

A final venture was made with "I Don't Call Him Daddy", a lesser hit, peaking at #86.

(The release of "I Don't Call Him Daddy" was to support the 1988 RCA "Greatest Hits" release, and received little promotion as Rogers was leaving the label.)
